Grant Gnnntp 8erald:
Arbitration Successful.


Journal: To the great relief of many
thousands of workingmen and TO the
qualification of many employers of labor
the strike and lockouts, which have for
weeks paralyzed the building opera
tons of this city, arc ended. The
suspended work on new buildings all
over town has been resumed, and there
is still fair chance of Chicago making
a good show in this important line CT
improvements before the season closes.
The adjustment of this protracted
controversy between employers aud
employees was finally brought about
in business-like method-the adoption
of the system of arbitration: The two
parties to the controversy met face to
face, through their respectively APP
pointed representatives, talked the mat
ter over like sensible men. and reached
a conclusion that appears to be salts
factory all around. This could and
should have been done at the early
stage of the trouble, but "better late
than never
One commendable feature of the
treaty arrived at is the adoption of a
plan for the arbitration of future dis
putes of this class by both the organized
master builders and the organized
journeymen bricklayers electng com
mittees of arbitration at the beginning
of each year, for the settlement of all
differences by joint action. If both
sides shall be circumspect as to the
choice of reasonable and fair-minded
mon as committeeman, this plan will
almost inevitably result in the aboli-
ton of strikes and lockouts.
The principle of arbitration for the
adjustment of labor troubles and bust
ness disputes is the only really sensible
one yet devised. Much needless an
noyance and loss to the community as
we'll as to the parties Immediately con-
cerned can be avoided in this way,
and every friend of the public peace
and prosperity and every friend of la
Dor should favor the exhaustion of all
the possibilities of arbitration before
resorting to expensive and often dis
astrous strikes or lockouts, which as
rule is losing game to all concerned.
